With the anticipation of the hummingbirds arriving back here in the next few weeks I thought I would share this shot from last year. Appreciate the comments and thanks for looking!

Excellent gradient in the background, nice colors, good sized perch, soft light, good catchlight,head angle.
Looks like just out of a bath!
I rather like the dead leaf below, wish the other parts didn't tuck up under the bird, but minor. I like the framing too.
I don't know about them coming back soon! Too cold and damp!!
Cheers

Good comp, perch, colours. BG looks great - I guess golfing will starting soon too, eh! A small white strand needs cleaning at lower edge and I would have preferred a better body angle (seems angling away a bit), would you have been able to move left without disturbing the bird or introducing unwanted BG elements?
P.S. Love the ruffled feathers on the back, as well as the iridescence on the plumage!
Beautiful, Gary. I love the ruffled feather look, great detail and colors.
